And it really goes into like how to leverage this technology.
So I'll tell you just really quickly sort of how I think about this.
First, at TRM, we don't associate individuals with their alphanumeric address.
We would never say, hey, that's Ryan's address.
That's David's address.
we associate addresses with really two categories, entities, so lawful entities like Coinbase or Tornado Cash or Uniswap, and illicit activity, terror financing, sanctions, North Korea.
In order to get the underlying user information,
that individual would have to transact with some type of centralized service and law enforcement would be able to serve a subpoena, lawful process, in order to get that underlying user information.
So that's sort of one way I think about this.
I don't think we should ever be in a world where we're associating individuals with their alphanumeric crypto addresses.
I think it becomes dangerous when people are associating those addresses with themselves on social media and other places.
And I think that's when you talk about wrench attacks, that's someplace I preach about being very, very careful.
The other piece is I think we need to leverage the technology, right?
I think the challenge for regulators and policymakers and all of us is how do we stop bad actors from using services like Tornado Cash, but allowing lawful users to use them for the privacy they need for all the things that you mentioned, right?
Dissidence, you know, corporate surveillance, you know, humanitarian aid, etc.
Quite frankly, the US government sending funds to informants in war zones, right?
We need that level of privacy.
I think the technology is the solution.
And I really lean into Beacon.
Beacon is just about tracking illicit proceeds and blocking them and then allowing for lawful process to play itself out.
